Understanding How the Brain Creates Chronic Symptoms

All pain is generated in the brain. Our brains are designed to protect us from danger whether physical or emotional. Neuroplastic pain or symptoms are often caught in a loop that is called The Pain-Fear Cycle. Unknowingly, one reinforces this cycle and thereby keeps it fueled. Breaking the Cycle is one of the ways we begin rewiring pathways.

Breaking the Cycle

How Rewiring Begins

Neuroplastic pain is often caught in what’s called the Pain-Fear Cycle — a loop where pain creates fear, fear increases tension, and tension fuels more pain.

By understanding this connection and teaching your brain that you are safe, you begin to retrain your neural pathways and calm your nervous system.
